Footage has emerged of a farmer being pulled from his tractor by police in the UK as he tried to get rid of illegal ravers.

Earlier this month, between 150 and 200 revellers reportedly took over a field located between the villages of Arrington and Longstowe, near Cambridge.

It is believed that police were called to the scene at around 1:00am on June 4; the ravers allegedly didn’t leave the field for up to another 12 hours.

The field was part of a farm run by David Rolls; he had been left frustrated by the lack of action by the police in dealing with the trespassers.

The fed-up farmer then enlisted the help of his neighbour to use a tractor and slurry tanker to spread slurry close to where the revellers were partying, in order to get them to move on.

However, the police then chose to arrest the neighbour who was driving the tractor; it is believed he was arrested for allegedly breaching the peace.

The neighbour, who is reportedly in his 50s, can be seen handcuffed as he is pulled from the John Deere tractor by police officers. He subsequently falls to the ground as he dismounts the tractor.

Up to five police officers can be seen leading the man away; it is reported that he was released later that evening, June 4, without charge.

Some 30 police officers allegedly attended the scene; local police defended how they dealt with the situation after facing criticism from the farmer.

Rolls, who is a tenant farmer, had intended to cut hay in the field this year; now he doesn’t think it will be possible due to all the broken glass left behind by the ravers.

The illegal rave allegedly began late on Saturday night, June 3. Locals were awoken at around midnight to the sound of very loud music, which could reportedly be heard up to six miles away.
